I was reading Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar influences and amongst the blues masters like BB King, Albert King and others he mentioned Lonnie Mack who I did not know certaonly not from back in the day and don’t think he ‘travelled' to the degree we had heard of him over here like Link Wray and others . . . but this is why Stevie mentioned him
Lonnie Mack - Wham
Stevie Ray says he bought this when it came out and he played it over and over again until he could play it himself . . . no turning back from there!
and this one may explain why he didn’t travel so well . . . . . . in a nutshell!
Lonnie Mack - Too Rock For Country, Too Country For Rock And Roll
